Autumn Durald Arkapaw breaks down her history-making Oscar nomination for
#Sinners
When Durald began studying cinematography in the early 2000s, she found few women in the field. Discovering Ellen Kuras through her work on “Blow” helped inspire Durald to pursue the craft, ultimately becoming the first woman who could take home the Best Cinematography prize. She would also be the first Black cinematographer to win the award.
“Young girls will look up this nomination and see that film and will associate all the people that made it, people that are people of color,” Durald said. “All of our heads of department are Black women, and I think that’s important because you don’t see that very often. Ryan creates that.”
